Japan by Bike: Suibara and the Yamabiko Road: Part I
http://cyclejapan.blogspot.com/2007/11/suibara-and-yamabiko-road-part-i.html
Monday, November 5, 2007. Suibara and the Yamabiko Road: Part I. The road climbs to a modest elevation and offers panoramic views of Niigata City, 40k distant. The photo at bottom shows the restaurant in Murasugi where I ate lunch. Opened in October, the establishment serves Japanese dishes made with ingredients produced nearby, including rice, vegetables, and the tofu for which Murasugi is known. Though not especially fond of the sweet bean paste known as. A decoction made from. Dissolved in hot water.

From Hokkaido Japan to England. By bicycle. Sado Island and Niigata. June 29, 2015. July 9, 2015. So it turns out that finishing our jobs, moving out of our apartment and setting off travelling for 18 months all on the same day is looking like it might be quite stressful! Sleeping bags and mats. still regularly in use! We’re doing our best to be efficient and get things in order, but we’ve acquired a lot of stuff in our 5 years here, and selling it or getting rid of it takes time! Ditto the tent and tarp.

Kris in Hokkaido: november 2008
http://krisinhokkaido.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Donderdag 20 november 2008. Got quite a bit of snow overnight. Here's a picture of our car. Zondag 16 november 2008. Kazumi and I went shopping in Sapporo yesterday. Got out of bed around 7AM (too early for a Saturday) and left for Sapporo at 8AM. Took route 5 from Kutchan to Otaru and drove the highway (Sasson) from Otaru to Sapporo (Kita Hiroshima exit). Arrived at Costco. Around 10AM. Costco is a large warehouse and they sell a nice selection of imported items. And ski pants and gloves. To finish up t...

Japan by Bike: How Much Farther?
http://cyclejapan.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-much-farther.html
Monday, November 5, 2007. This climb didn't show on our map. When our computers had clocked kilometer 115 of the 125 we expected to ride that day, the road began its unmistakable, final descent into Nishi-Aizu. We reached the station at 3:30, over 8 hours after leaving Tsugawa. Don's face is expressive of the fatigue and relief we both felt upon finishing-for the first and possibly last time- the Honna-Tsugawa Forest Road ride. Brian Southwick and Don Speden.

Japan by Bike: The Honna-Tsugawa Forest Road: to the Summit
http://cyclejapan.blogspot.com/2007/11/honna-tsugawa-forest-road-to-summit.html
Saturday, November 3, 2007. The Honna-Tsugawa Forest Road: to the Summit. To gather chestnuts and mushrooms. Eventually we came upon a trickle of water dripping over a rock face, and we stopped to rest and refill our long-empty bottles. The final 3k to the summit was gravel, and the road deeply pitted and uneven. Finally, after 3 solid hours of climbing, we reached the 1,130 meter "Salt Storehouse" Pass. It was 12:30.
